[Off-topic] Hannigan174:
I just read a closed thread in the X1 forum involving a WinMo hater, and I did find it a little amusing, and I understand it was closed with the statement not to bring it up again, so I decided to bury this in the off-topic section.

My point is, though, that WinMo has its issues as does every other phone platform, but I have decided to stick with WinMo not simply for its technical advantages that I prefer, but primarily for the outstanding service and support that is provided by the very accomplished contributing members of XDA-Developers.

Most (if not all) of the people who contribute here do it as a labor of love, and I have not found anything else quite like this anywhere else on the web.

So for all those who make this in my (somewhat biased) opinion the best online community on the WWW, BIG UPS! Good Job!

Most importantly Thank You for making my trip through the PocketPC world as fulfilling as I could have imagined.
[Off-topic] kdj67f:
Agreed. I dont venture to that forum as i dont have one :D but having support from XDA and PPCGEEKS has made my device, whatever it has been, the best out there.
[Off-topic] mikeeey:
I agree, xda-developers is the best mobile community.

However my next phone will be the Nokia N82. I'm going to try the Symbian OS. Nothing against windows mobile, but I'm sure many of us can agree that most HTC and other phones just quite aren't powerful enough to handle windows mobile. I'm sticking with the N82 till there is a blazing fast windows mobile device packed with great features. (Maybe it's the tegra chip I'm waiting for?)

Plus, switching to S60 gives me something new to learn about! And now I can play quake 3, doom, GBA, SNES, and everything else I've always dreamed of playing on a phone!

Hi All, :)

Just contemplating upgrading from 6.1 to 6.5 and have a few questions, that I hope you fellas can help me with:_

1. I use sprite backup - So could I roll back to 6.1 and my phone as it was after upgrading to a 6.5 ROM?

2. Will TomTom Navigator 6 still work with WM 6.5 as it does with WM 6.1?

3. What is the most stable/best WM 6.5 ROM out their?

4. How will Pocket informant run on WM 6.5

Big thanks in advance of any assistance.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mindfrost82:
1) You would have to load up a 6.1 ROM then restore your backup. It is recommended that you NOT restore your back up on a 6.5 ROM.

2) I don't use TomTom, but it should work just as it did with WM6.1. I've read where people say it works fine.

3) This is everyone's own opinion. I'm running RRE. Da_G just released an updated base ROM, which is great if you like bare bones. Shep's is also good from what I hear.

4) Not sure about that, I've never used Pocket Informant.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] EN4CER69:
Thanks for the time taken to input into my thread :)

I do like bare bones, so Da_G might be the way forward for me.

1.What is it like on battery life?

2. Do you get the normal black theme, as opposed to fancy stuff?

3. How have you found its stability?

Many thanks again.

Win
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Th3 Ripper:
Personally Shep's rom is the best. I have found the battery life to be nothing short of exceptional!

Frequently arrive home after 11 hours of use with 85%+ left. Emails polling every 15 mins, internet usage and text messaging useage and frequent phone calls.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] EN4CER69:
What Radio are you using with that m8?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Symmetric:
I also like Da G's ROM, it's minimal and really good on battery life. Also, I'm not sure if it's the ROM or 6.5, but my GPS seems to be much more responsive. Previously I was using an AT&T test ROM with Rhodium Manila and it wasn't nearly as nice... the UI takes a li'l bit to get used to and it doesn't offer as much as TF3D, but it's incredibly stable.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] supersobbie:
as for Pocket informant it appears that WM6.5 has changed a few things. and most 3rd party cal. are having issues. I tried SBSH Calendar Touch and PI. PI crashed randomly and SBSH did not display recurring appointments. Hopefully those apps will fix it as soon as MS releases the documentation on WM6.5. Check out there forums and search a little if you want ot find out more.

As for ROM play and test them... I am using PROvens because I liked the way Rhodium was already installed and titanium was removed. but I am sure others have done the same.

Have a great day.

hey guys...

is there a registry edit that makes Cmessage display text messages in the panel the sane way Chome does?

I did the registry edit on Chome to not display the icons if the are no new notifications, BUT i use mini panels and the icons show up in funny places...so ive decided to go with Cmessage instead, as it's a more clean layout (and i could care less about missed calls notifications)

so yeah. if anybody knows this..let me know

thanks

Hi TP owners,

There's an issue that's been bothering me for a long time. I tried my best on XDA google but I did not came to any conclusions :confused:.

The problem is:

wallpapers in landscape look out of size (this is a logical problem because portrait and landscape mode have a different size). Since the release of rhodium manila, we have been more confronted with this "problem".

And I've been wondering if there is any way to easily change the wallpaper of Landscape?

im using SecondToday that allows both TF3D2 and WM6 and I want to change the landscape for both

Can anyone fill me in?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] monx®:
stwater../tdywater.. not related to manila but default today screen. (and your 240_320 is for QVGA)

For manila, the background cache is \Windows\HomeBackground.img

For Rhodium manila, u need to delete abovesaid file before u can remove/change landscape wallpaper. its a good way to make your wallpaper image file with 640 x 640.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Kengsta:
Ok that makes more sense

First VGA, "tdywater_*_*" to begin with. What exact filenames with what size are used for raphael?

Also I removed the \homebackground.img but what file must I replace to have the landscape wallpaper then?

This may look silly asking so much but I cannot find this info anywhere

Is this procedure so clear for everyone except me? cause I can't find any info on it for Raphael.

Thanks allot for replying to my problem, monx!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] monx®:
The correct name for vga is tdywater_480_640 (P) tdywater_640_480 (L)

But it is not so important. stwater.jpg/gif/png can be general if no other *stwater* *tdywater* existence.

Fit size :

portrait =480x588

landscape = 640x428

homebackground.img is the cache wallpaper image file. no need to delete if u r using raphael (non-ported) manila. change ur favourite wallpaper via manila settings tab.

for pre-configured wallpaper for manila, use this key :

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]

"CachedBackgroundPath"="your_wallpaper_including_path.jpg"

"HomeBackgroundPath"="your_wallpaper_including_path.jpg"

Hope this help a bit.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Kengsta:
I understand but what I really want is to change the wallpaper for landscape on Rhodium manila and wm6 to fit perfectly when you slide out the keyboard. On the screenshots you see a gap that is black. In wm6, it fills the gap because of patern.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] driftoz:
i would like to do the same as i have the TF3d v2 now and the landscape wallpaper is streched is there a seperate file to use for a landscape wallpaper so it isnt streached.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] TruckerJoe:
Something strange happened: If I open my file explorer (GSExplorer, file explorer or bluetooth explorer) and I navigate to Internal Memory, I can't open the folders that are inside anymore.

For some reason, the extension of the folders inside have changed to .exe. When I click on them I get the error-message "My Documents.exe 'My Documents' is not a valid Pocket-PC application".

If I connect my Diamond to my pc I can browse the folders but instead of opening on the already open folder, it opens a new window. It's like the My Documents.exe file is a Shortcut to itself and can only be opened if I browse my Diamond on the pc.

The strange thing is that I haven't changed a thing since 2 months ago and the problem only occured a week ago. The ROM installed is the dutch AZTOR ROM and software I installed include Advanced Condiguration tool, GAlarm, GSFinder and Gyrator.

I don't know if it's relevant, but if I connect my diamond to the pc, there's a new option in the popup (the one where you can chose to explore the diamond, copy images to a folder, ...) It's called "Run Recycle.exe. I searched a bit more about recycle.exe and it appears to be spyware but I haven't found how to remove this spyware.

I'd really appreciate a solution to this problem and I'd also like to know how it happened. I could reload the ROM on my diamond but 2 months laters, it could happen again...

Thanks in advance.

it seems to me that you're infected with a virus... do a scan with your favorite antivirus/spyware and see how it goes.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] karateka_sd:
Same thing happened to me, but in laptop not in ppc

Then it was virus, that was making an exe file in the name of the folders. But for PPC, I'm not very sure. But guess it's the same...suggest to check the system with a good antivirus....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] TruckerJoe:
Allright thanks.

I think the virus is gone now, but the folders are still in .exe. Can I remove this extension? I tried properties in GSFinder, but no luck...
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
hi,

I have this software called photo contacts pro, this software can let u change sms tones for each contact (like the way u change ringtones on the standard wm contacts).

But i have a problem, the software conflicts with my wm/spb shell software and as such if i change my profile in the spb shell (and standard wm setting) to say silent, it does not change.

Does anyone know of a software that lets me change sms tones for different contacts but does not do anything else (profiles etc) or has the ability to choose what it can do.

ps. i know there are settings on photo contacts pro but if u set it not to do anything but sms tones, the standard wm settings still dont work.

thanks

I had the same problem before before I realized that some buttons are kind of stiff when you press them especially the way you have to press them all at the same time. You can try to have someone help you.... you press down the camera and record button REALLY HARD and your friend press the reset button. Hold them all down for a couple of seconds until the options to reboot appear in the unlighted screen.

Ok, so this is of course old news, I just stumbled over the article by accident a few minutes ago and thought I'd share because of the hilarity of it all. It was a pretty laughable article in 2007, but even more so now when Android is in full swing and is getting better by the month and more and more manufacturers joins the OHA.

Hindsight 20/20 and all that, but most of us hardcore Androiders knew Android would not fail, despite what a few self-proclaimed experts said on their blogs. We knew it even as far back as 2007/2008. Ben Kunz obviously didn't, though.

Android to grow faster than iPhone in 2009?

http://www.electronista.com/articles/09/05/11/android.to.grow.900pc/
[G1 General] jashsu:
It's heartening news, but you gotta consider that percentage growth is one of those marketing spin numbers. A platform that is selling 1M units in 2008 experiencing a 900% growth sells an additional 9M. A platform selling 10M units in 2008 only has to grow 90% to experience the same increase in sales growth.
[G1 General] ExploreMN:
Well, to be honest, if the G1 looked like that prototype picture...I wouldn't have bought it. That is one seriously ugly looking phone with a tiny ass screen.
[G1 General] mannyb:
True, but as a self-proclaimed expert on all things tech he should of course have known Android is not about hardware (let alone about prototype hardware). Android is about software.

I knew that as soon as I first heard and read about Android back in 2007, I bet you knew that, and I also bet most people on this forum knew that -- we knew the possibilities was and is almost endless. Ben Kunz, however, did not. And he wrote a downright stupid article about it, showing off his ignorance.

It did bring us lots of amusement though, so kudos to Ben for making a fool out of himself :D
[G1 General] CBowley:
Think about google as a company. Starting with a school project and growing to what is now. Everything google owns is destined to succeed. They have a huge master plan and everything they do/own is tied into each other in one way or another.

[G1 General] ExploreMN:
I hear what you are saying, but lets...for arguments sake...equate a cell phone to a woman (no offense to women...but its the best modern day analogy I can make at the moment).

Okay, men (in this case the generic term "men" means "customers") look for a woman, they want it all...sexy, intelligent, and able to do a lot of things (interpret that as you see fit).

A G1 fits most of that. A G1, while not the sexiest in the world, is decent enough looking...but what she lacks in looks she makes up for by being highly intelligent and capable of performing a variety of tasks you may hope she can do...as a woman.

The Android prototype in the picture may be able to do a lot of tasks, but she can't do everything...and, while intelligent, she is seriously to fat (wide), to short (squat and square) and way too fricken ugly to really be considered anything more than a friend (like when you look at your buddies cell phone that was a free give-away for signing a contract).

Now, to really get the whole package, Android phones need to take a page from Apple's book and make something super sexy like an iPhone with all the other Android and tech components in the G1...only with longer battery life.
[G1 General] Ryanmo5:
Haha yeah that might work huh?
[G1 General] CBowley:
Honestly, I'm not too attracted to the iphone. It's plane, too skinny to be comfy, has one button, not my type. Maybe if she was the last girl in the bar at the end of the night i'd take her home, but i'd leave before she woke up and deny it to my friends..

[G1 General] mannyb:
Seems pretty fishy to me. Not only is/was he clueless about Android, but he's also involved in some funky malware site? Interesting.
[G1 General] RueTheDay:
The future of phones belongs to the iPhone and Android. Hopefully Android wins, but Apple keeps pushing them to make it even better.

Blackberry is fine for people that just want phone + email, but email is a commodity now, and Blackberry OS can't keep up with iPhone OS and Android.

Windows Mobile is going to wane. MS doesn't get it. They think a phone is a miniature PC and people just want to run Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook, etc. on it like it was a PC.

[G1 General] Ben Kunz:
Thanks for the feedback

Manny,

I appreciate you continuing the discussion and pointing out the too-strong wording of my ancient post on Android. Yes, you are correct, that original post relied too much on hardware -- which drove most phone sales in the first decade -- and not on the evolution of the software, which is becoming more important as mobile handsets migrate into common glass screens. I think your commentators would agree, the initial prototype did not look like much.

It's obvious that the community here feels passionately about phone development, so I expect to see a few more rocks.

In other news, we run an ad agency that works with major clients around the world. I thank Sistum for pointing out some jerk has created malware and named it after our agency. Hopefully not some disgruntled tech developer. We'll have our lawyers take a look at it.

Keep the discussions going - and perhaps listen to critiques now and then, since you might learn from them even when they challenge your beliefs.
